Raffaele Sollecito

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While I'm convinced Amanda Knox is verifiably notable (and have requested a deletion review accordingly), I'm less convinced about Raffaele Sollecito. In any case there should not be a redirect to a murder for which he has been acquitted, if only because this could be considered libelous. -- samj in out 22:21, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep and close - This entire situation is quickly spiraling out of control and is proof positive that the Wikipedia's crowd-sourcing approach to editing is absolutely piss-poor when dealing with current events and breaking news. Discussion is fractured between the article talk page, a DRV for Knox's redirect, and now this AfD.  Apart from that, it is a redirect, not an article so it is misplaced asn an AfD.  Also, redirects are largely immune from NPOV concerns, and having one's name direct to a case that one is involved in does not imply guilt or innocence. Tarc (talk) 22:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
